I have been trying to send e-mail to R. M. W. Dixon using
the address given by the LINGUISTS NAMESERVER in
Amsterdam, but the message gets bounced back with the
following message:
)The message could not be delivered to:
)
)Addressee: ixg612csc2.anu.edu.au
)Reason: Illegal host/domain name found.
I have also checked the LSA List and the LINGUIST list,
neither of which lists him. Can anyone tell me the correct
host name? (I tried "csc" and it didn't get bounced back, but
I also didn't get any confirmation that it went through.)
Thanks very much.

I have not been able to find e-mail addresses for the following people from
any of the lists I have checked: Terry Crowley, Paul Geraghty, John Lynch,
Peter Muhlhausler, Andrew Pawley, Ger Reesink, Graham Scott, Andrew Taylor,
John Verhaar. If anyone has e-mail addresses for any of these people, I would
appreciate it if you would send them to me.

Can you help out a student of mine? He's looking for material which sheds
light on the mention in a popular article (in New Mexico Journal) of
a sign language used as a trading language throughout northern Mexico
and into the Southwest (also onto the southern Plains?) Presumably
this mode of communication was associated with (1) Casas Grandes, a
trading center in Chihuahua, and (2) the Mexica traveling merchants known
as pochtecah.
Any leads or other information you can provide will be greatly
appreciated, by both the student and me.
